@benfulton Fortunately, that's not the way enclaves (should) work. All I can do is ask the enclave a question, and get an answer -- by design, at the hardware level. (Could there be vulnerabilities in that? Sure. But that's a different class of problem.)

@benfulton everything from watching DVDs/Netflix to email/internet, managing her photos with Shotwell and making small presos and docs and stuff with Libreoffice for e.g her garden club and what not else, honestly impressed with how advanced her usage of it is given her age

@benfulton people need jobs, or basic income. I can see a benefit in small affordable electric trolley vans, if that's all you're going to fill in five minutes. If they had small batteries (1/10th the cost), mostly run on-grid, and allowed gradually building out electrical infra & network.

This is exciting! I just saw this neighborhood from the water taxi on Sunday. I am glad they are looking to build the stadium in the city proper instead of out in the suburbs.

This is a super careful and comprehensive analysis of what to do with this bridge that's no longer able to carry vehicles.

@benfulton In my observation, very few e-bike riders use helmets, and they seem to be far less experienced at bicycling than real cyclists.

@benfulton I agree that space needs to be taken from cars as opposed to pedestrians. But to be fair, having lived in Phila for a couple of years, many streets are *very* narrow. If you add a bike lane, you need to take the cars off entirely (not a bad idea). But those streets also have very […]

From Jalopnik, no less!
But also they missed the obvious solution: street design that makes car drivers WANT to slow down.
No matter how successful buses are, there WILL still be people who walk. See, .e.g., Toronto.
